Problems cornering at night with cars coming towards me!

I go slower at night. Last night, it confused the hell out of me to round a bend and see what looked like 2 cars converging from top to bottom, almost as if one was coming up out of the ground . I was distracted by it and forced myself to slow down and take stock. What it actually was, was a big puddle on the other side of the road (out of place as it hadn't been raining/wet), reflecting the light of the car driving down the slope towards the puddle. You tend to get these sort of optical illusions/what was that? moments at night and they're another reason to slow down a bit, as well as reduced visibility.

i never knew of their existance.


yellow tinted visor anyone ?

I believe that the is a recognised medical condition which makes some people more prone to be dazzled than others. I am totally crap driving at night, I find it really hard to see when faced with oncoming lights. I do all the things which everyone has mentioned, but most importantly adjust my speed to what I am capable of dealing with.

It is also worthwhile bearing in mind that if you are having trouble seeing, then the other drivers could well be as well.

Thanks for all the tips guys. Am going to have to calm down at night, that seems to be the safest option

If you have a Pinlock visor, you can get a yellow insert that's supposed to do the same job as the anti-dazzle glases.
